Interlibrary Loan (ILLiad) is the electronic system you use to request a resource UT Southwestern Health Science Library and Learning Center does not carry or is listed in the Library Catalog or is housed offsite at the Joint Library Facility (JLF) in College Station, Texas.
What is the direct URL to the Library Catalog?
It is http://www.utsouthwestern.edu/libcat.
What is remote storage?
Items with a remote storage location are at the Joint Library Facility (JLF) in College Station, Texas. Our Library provided the core of a shared resource for the University of Texas and Texas A&M university systems that is used by students and faculty throughout the state, including the new UT System medical schools in Austin and South Texas.
How do I know what materials are in remote storage?
Items that display in the catalog with JLF (Joint Library Facility), JLF--Resource in Common, or JLF--Resource in Common (Pending) are in remote storage.
Is there a difference between the different categories for remote storage?
Items marked as JLF were contributed to JLF from our Library's collection. Items marked as a "Resource In Common" can be claimed by our Library as a shared resource. Pending items have not yet completed processing but can still be requested by clients.
How do I get items from remote storage?
Request items from remote storage through ILLiad (Interlibrary Loan).
Will I be charged if I need something from remote storage?
The delivery cost for ILLiad (Interlibrary Loan) depends on affiliation and delivery speed. More information is available here.
